Trying to fix a regret purchase (dark rubellite)

[LC2016]

I once have this overpriced purchase of a rubellite stone when I first start collecting colour stone, that is too dark in tone and easily go extinction under low light.


Not only the stone is too dark, it also has a big window too. So I decided it might help the stone if I close the window so I send it for a recut


I appreciate the recut but the stone is still dark, so it has been sitting there for around 7 year+…

And now I finally decide to set the stone in rose gold hoping to make it looks better

Will update once I get the stone set
